Horn implemented the Marquez strategy of half steps, exposing Pacquaio’s very open defense by timing right hands and following through with combinations and pushing Pacquaio on the back foot where he isn’t effective.

The people who tuned in will be Pacman fanboys and the biased commentators are paid for by Manny’s promoter. But Horn clearly out strategised him.

Think about it why would the judges who are paid for by Manny’s promoter give the decision against Manny unless it was very clear and obvious? Bob Arum, Manny’s promoter usually pays off judges for his guy anyway but he didn’t think he needed to against Horn. He assumed it would be an easy win. In the past the Marquez-Pacquaio fights are clearly fights he paid off the judges, as were DeLaHoya-Quartey and Morales-Barrera 1 amongst others.
